Definitions

  • the invention relates to a fastener element for connecting a structural part, in particular a lining, to a support part having a fastening hole, in particular a body sheet of an automobile, according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • a multiplicity of so-called clips or fastener elements have become known for the fastening of linings and other attachments to the automobile body.
  • the fastener elements which normally are manufactured from a plastic, have a head for connection to the part to be fastened and a base or shank which is forced into or lockingly inserted into an aperture of the body.
  • the aperture or hole in the body may be of various shapes, e.g. that of a rectangle, elongated hole, circular hole or molded hole.
  • fastener elements employed at such points require to be disassembled and reassembled. If possible, the assembly and disassembly forces, even if the elements are repeatedly used, should not depart substantially from the values encountered during their first use.
  • Installation apertures have sharp edges in most cases and can also present a burr left from punching so that some part of the outer contour of the fastener element is abraded during every assembly and disassembly procedure. This causes the holding forces to weaken and the fastener element to fail, in an extreme case, when the number of assembly cycles increases.
  • EP 0 954 459 B1 has made known a fastener element for which the problem described is resolved by clipping a two-legged metallic spring onto the shank of a plastic body such that the legs face their free ends slightly outwardly towards the head of the fastener element when the spring is in a stress-relieved state.
  • the free ends of the spring legs grip behind the hole border.
  • a shoulder may be formed in the spring legs which grips behind the hole border.
  • the fastener body exhibits two approximately parallel spaced outer webs which are connected by a transverse web at a spacing from the free end of the outer webs.
  • the transverse web stabilizes the outer webs and has a further function reference to which will be made farther below.
  • the transverse web is tapered towards its lower end.
  • the outer webs On the sides facing each other close to the free end, the outer webs have projections with lower and upper ramp surfaces. The lower ramp surfaces converge towards the free end of the outer webs and the upper ramp surfaces converge towards the head.
  • the washer-like locking part which can be of an approximately rectangular shape and has a measure which is larger than the diameter of the fasting hole in any case, has an approximately rectangular aperture or opening.
  • Two opposed sides of the aperture have pivotically formed thereto holding portions each which are approximately L-shaped in the cross-section.
  • Each holding portion has a first web portion formed to the locking part and a second web portion which extends from the upper side of the locking portion to the lower side of the locking portion through the aperture.
  • the dimensions of the aperture and holding portions are such that a slot is formed each between the respective other opposed sides of the aperture and the two holding portions, into which an outer web can be fittingly inserted from the upper side of the locking part in such a way that the lower ramp surfaces of the projections pivot the holding portions away from each other and the lower sides of the second web portions can come to lie on the upper ramp surfaces.
  • the outer webs are introduced into the slots of the locking part by a certain amount. This helps obtain a pre-assembly position of the parts relative to each other. Shoulders on the outsides of the outer webs can grip under the washer-like locking part at the lower side and secure the locking part against removal from the outer webs of the fastener body.
  • the lower end of the transverse web is approximately triangular in cross-section parallel to the outer webs to make it easier to pivot the holding portions as described. There is a spacing which facilitates the engagement of the transverse web between the holding portion in a stress-relieved state. Moreover, a rounded portion may be provided at the outer transition from the first web portion to the second one.
  • another aspect of the invention provides that the surfaces facing each other of the first web portions of the holding portions include at least one locking portion the outside of the transverse web facing them is provided with at least a second locking portion cooperating with the first locking portion. It is preferred to provide two locking teeth or locking gaps spaced in an axial direction where different sheet thicknesses of the support part may be employed.
  • the locking teeth or locking grooves are such as to allow the transverse web to be introduced relatively easily in between the opposed holding portions whereas relatively large holding forces are produced in the opposite direction.
  • the inventive fastener element has a number of advantages. There is no wear during the assembly and disassembly. Assembly and disassembly forces are substantially constant.
  • the inventive fastener element allows to precisely harmonize the holding and assembly forces. It is ready possible to mount it in fastening holes even if burr left from punching has remained therein. Furthermore, a relative large tolerance is possible with regard to the size of the fastening hole and the thickness of the support part.
  • the inventive fastener element can be manufactured in a low-expenditure injection molding process. Its use for different hole shapes is also possible.
  • the fastener body 10 shown in Fig. 1 has an elongate head 12 and a shank generally designated 14 which is connected to the head 12 and has two parallel spaced outer webs 18, 20 below an oval, conical sealing flange 16.
  • the outer webs 18, 20 are elongated rectangular in cross-section with the longer sides of the outer webs 18, 20 extending parallel to each other.
  • the outer webs 18, 20 have tapering introduction portions 22, 24 at the free end.
  • the outer webs 18, 20 On the outer surfaces facing away from each other, the outer webs 18, 20 have elevations one of which is shown at 26.
  • the elevations define a shoulder 28 facing head 12, reference to which will be made farther below.
  • the outer webs have projections 30, 32 on the inner surfaces facing each other.
  • the projections 30, 32 have lower ramp surfaces 34, 36 which converge downwardly towards the free end of the outer webs 18, 20 and upper ramp surfaces 38, 40 which converge towards the head 12.
  • the contour of the projections 30, 32 is rhombic, for example.
  • transverse web 42 which is triangular in section at the free end at 44 and has locking recesses 46 at opposite outer surfaces is extended between the outer webs 18, 20.
  • the transverse web 42 stabilizes the outer webs 18, 20, but has more functions reference to which will be made farther below.
  • the outer webs 18, 20 have ramp-like elevations, one of which is depicted at 48 in Fig. 1, on the sides facing each other.
  • the elevations 48 extending transversely to the longitudinal axis of the outer webs 18, 20 slope down gradually towards the two ends as is clearly apparent from the perspective view of Fig. 1.
  • a washer-like locking part 50 which approximately has a rectangular contour with rounded corners.
  • the washer-like locking part 50 has a rectangular aperture 52.
  • Holding portions 54, 56 extend from two opposed sides of the aperture 52.
  • Each holding portion 54, 56 has a first web portion 58 which is joined to the locking part via a film hinge 60.
  • the rectangular holding portions 54, 56 which are L-shaped in cross-section have a second web portion 62. While the first web portion 58 extends towards the aperture centre approximately in parallel, but outside the plane of the aperture 52 the second web portion 62 extends downwards to the lower side of the locking part 50 from the upper side of the locking part 50 that is recognizable in Fig. 2 through the aperture 52.
  • the side of the first web portion 58 that faces upwards in Fig. 2 has two parallel locking teeth 64, 66.
  • Slots 68, 70 which are delimited by the surfaces facing each other of the holding portions 54, 56 are formed between the other opposed sides of the aperture 52.
  • the dimensions of the slots 68, 70 are such as to allow the outer webs 18, 20 of the fastener body 10 of Fig. 1 to be introduced and accommodated approximately fittingly therein.
  • a metal sheet is outlined at 58a, which has an oval fastening hole 60a.
  • the metal sheet 58a is a support part and forms part of an automobile body, for example.
  • Figs. 5 and 6 show how the fastener element 10 is introduced into the fastening hole 60a to an extent that the border of the locking part 50 rests on the metal sheet side facing it. Now, when a downward pressure is applied to the head 12 of the fastener body 10 in the position of Figs.
  • the outer webs 18, 20 will be farther introduced into the fastening hole 60a and the triangular portion 44 of the transverse web 42 gets into engagement with the side facing it and the sides facing each other of the holding portions 54, 56 while continuing to pivot them farther by approximately further 45°, which now causes the second web portion 62 to grip under the lower side of the metal sheet 58a.
  • the first web portions 58 define a triangular introduction opening for the transverse web 42.
  • the first locking tooth 66 of the holding portions 54, 56 now interengages with the first locking groove 46 or locking gap of the transverse web 42 as can be seen well in Fig. 8. In this way, the fastener element 10 obtains an interlocking in the metal sheet 58a.
  • the sealing flange 16 still has a spacing from the side facing it of the metal sheet 58a in the position of Figs. 7 and 8.
  • the fastener body 10 can be forced in even farther as can be recognized in Figs. 9 and 10.
  • the transverse web 42 continues to move in between the first web portions 58 of the holding portions 54, 56, which causes the second locking tooth 64 of the holding portions 54, 56 to engage the second locking groove 46 of the transverse web 42.
  • two locking teeth 64, 66 and two grooves 46 are in engagement with each other on opposed sides each and cause a large holding force of the fastener element shown with the sealing flange now sealingly resting on the metal sheet 58a.
  • Disassembly may be effected by pulling upwards on the fastener body 10, which causes the holding portions 54, 56 to be pivoted back to a position as is shown in Figs. 4 to 5. In this position, the second web portions 62 release the fastening hole 60a, enabling the fastener body 10, along with the locking part 50, to be readily removed from the fastening hole 60a. Re-assembly is performed in the way described above.
